2010 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE OCCUPANCY SENSOR WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FAULTY FRONT PASSENGER'S OCCUPANCY SENSOR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE S TRYING TO ENTER A MAIN HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS GIVEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER SAFELY MAKING IT OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLING OVER, THE CAR WOULD STILL NOT GO OVER 5 MPH AND HAD NO REVERSE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH COULD OF INJURED OR KILLED BOTH MY PASSENGERS AND I AND ANY OTHER MOTORIST APPROACHING ME AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE ROADWAY. *JS

SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT HIGH SPEED. WOBBLING AND CAR SHAKES.. BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK ROTORS HAD TO BE RESUFACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES, SO WE ARE CONCERNED THAT SUCH A RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SERVICING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, BUT HAS BEEN REDUCED. WE NOTE THAT NISSAN HAS HAD MANY RECALLS FOR ROTOR PROBLEMS, BUT ON OTHER MODELS. WE FEEL THE ROGUE NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED AS WELL. *TR

I WAS WITH MY 2 SMALL KIDS AT A DRIVE THROUGH. I STEPPED ON THE GAS WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO/ MOVE UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 3SECS. THIS WAS SO SCARY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SOMEONE TO HIT THE BACK OF MY CAR. AFTER THE THREE SECS THE CAR GETS GOING FAST THEN MAINTAINS NORMAL SPEED. I DROVE IT AGAIN TODAY THINKING IT COULD BE THE GAS I HAD PUT IT SO I RAN THE GAS OUT TO ALMOST EMPTY AND PUT IN NEW GAS. AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM. WILL TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IF NOT RESOLVED A CLASS ACTION SUIT WILL BE THE NEXT STEP. MY KIDS LIFE AND MINE ARE AT STAKE HER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 90 MPH. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT THEN REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE POWER TRAIN WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER TRAIN BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE.

THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON 06/03/13, THE SECOND INCIDENT ON 08/24/13 AND THE THIRD INCIDENT ON 12/22/13. ALL 3 INCIDENTS WERE ROAD TRIPS WHERE THE PROBLEM APPEARED ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF OR SO. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF ~70-80 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED BUT THE 2ND AND 3RD INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. ON THE 2ND AND 3RD INCIDENTS, WHEN WE EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT WE ALSO EXPERIENCED AN ACCELERATION ISSUE WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IN THESE INSTANCES, I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE FORWARD, FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS, AND THEN SPUTTERED BEFORE FINALLY ACCELERATING NORMALLY. AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, ONLINE, AND SAW NUMEROUS POSTS WITH OTHER ROGUE OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL PROBLEMS. I PLANNED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT, SINCE THE PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED ON LOCAL/IN-TOWN DRIVING, I PROCRASTINATED. AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR DEALER - AUTONATION NISSAN PEMBROKE PINES - ON 12/24/2013. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO JAY, OUR SERVICE ADVISOR, WHO HAD A TECHNICIAN CHECK OUT THE CAR. HE SAID A TRANSMISSION CODE, <P0744>, CAME UP IN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, NISSAN INSTITUTED A NEW POLICY ON THAT DATE WHICH REQUIRED THE DEALERSHIP REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE NISSAN WOULD AUTHORIZE THE REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH LOCAL DRIVING AND WOULD NOT ALLOW A TECH TO TAKE IT ON A LONG TRIP. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT THEY WERE NO HELP. THE END RESULT IS THAT I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED & THAT I CAN'T DRIVE ON LONG TRIPS. *TR

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. GAS PEDAL WOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND RPM'S WOULD NOT EXCEED 3000RPM. WHEN FOOT WAS TAKEN OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHED BACK TO FLOOR BOARD, RPM'S WOULD INCREASE TO 3000 AND THEN DECREASE BACK DOWN TO 2500 RPM. VEHICLE WOULD START TO DECREASE IN SPEED EVEN THOUGH GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. *TR
